How to Replace the Rear Wiper Motor on an Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Windshield wipers

If the rear wiper blade does not activate, the drive motor may be damaged. Since the device also integrates the washer, water may have infiltrated. To replace it, first remove the rear wiper blade by lifting the protective plastic cover over the fixing nut and removing the nut itself. Then, remove the internal trim panel of the tailgate by unscrewing the six fixing screws and releasing the clips. Finally, disconnect the power connector and unscrew the fixing nuts of the motor, proceeding in reverse for the installation of the new one.
